Her participation in the life of the school was generous and enthusiastic, and her teaching thorough and inspiring. She was invariably helpful to all who came in contact with her.

Bud is one of the best athletes in the class, baseball being his strong point with soccer a close second. Never content to rest on his laurels, however, Bud has found a use for his restless energy in extra-curricular activities; and whenever there's a job to be done, Bud will be found in the thick of it. He is also outstanding as a student, and there are few who can equal his record of scholastic achievement. In short Bud is an all-round student in the finest meaning of the word.

1407 Baird Ave., Camden, N.J.

FRANK KURSH DUTCHER
(Dutch)
110 Tenby Rd., Llanerch, Pa. Our Mr. President seems to spend his extremely small amount of spare time conversing with D. Duck. As the class clown, he is able to recoil to numberless requests with loud exclamations, which are not taken seriously. In this way he helps the rest of us express ourselves. His straight-forward, dependable manner often causes him to be imposed upon unjustly. His art work is distinctive, and has gained him no small number of Alumni awards. ENTERED: OFFICES:

Box 358, Bryn Mawr, Pa. Ginger is the smallest but by no means the least noticeable in the Class of '41. Whenever you hear an endless string of chatter you are sure to find Ginger.

VERNON DETWEILER GOTWALS, JR.
(Vernon) 129 W. lOth Ave., Conshohocken, Pa. Vernon is, without a doubt, one of the most gifted individuals in the class. To his keen and vigorous mind the intricacies of foreign languages come easily, and he has long been a leader in literature and art. In addition to these enviable assets, in themselves outstanding, Vernon has shown an equally great talent for music, and most of us have had the fortune to enjoy his piano recitals in assembly at one time or another. His talents and ability to get along with people should carry him far. ENTERED: OFFICES:

In the future we shall probably see her as a glamourous actress or an overworked Senator.

SALUTATORY May I extend greetings and a heartiest welcome to you, parents and friends of the school, both for myself and for the members of my class, on this the day of fact and fiction, of fun and foolishness- namely, Class Day for the Class of '41. Through the twelve years of our class history we have survived the wonder and excitement of childhood, and camouflaged for a few years by adolescence, today emerge on the brink of young man and young womanhood, preening for flight into new and difficult surroundings. To those who will continue and broaden their intellect in chosen fields lies a constant challenge to attack and master the problems presented them by their learned professors-to build an impregnable armor against the blasts and blows of the life they will later lead. But to those who step tomorrow into a world of disinterest and discouragement, lies a truly great challenge-to be forced to build that armor under assault, to be faced with major, vital problems, not just pencil and paper ones. And in a world torn up from the roots as ours is to-day, more than ever it is necessary for them and us to say- "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day ... " And so, proud to have been co-pilot through this its Senior year, I give you, parents and friends, the Class of 1941.
THE CLASS HISTORY "When we were one we had just begun." Back in the good old days of 1928, the kindergarten division of our army was represented by a single '41er namely, Mary Sax. It was not until the following year that we really got into step, when Emily Rae, Bill Carson, Frank Dutcher, and Mary Shryock joined the ranks. Our most vivid recollections are of brewing home-made root beer, and acting as buyers and salesmen in our own supply store. Marching into second grade we found burly Neanderthalers, Dick Werner and Martha Brown spending most of their time with us in paper caves. Then with a jump from the prehistoric we boarded our troop ship and christened her the S. S. Dorchester. Under the able piloting of "Admiral" Griffith, "Captain" Dutcher, and "Cook" Okie we up and coming sharpshooters toured the seven seas, and, after welcoming Dick Barnes and Bill Stecher, landed in fourth grade as suppliants to Zeus and Athena. We never knew there were so many bottle-tops in the world as we painted that year to decorate our room. The rewards of our labors, moreover, were a highly colorful Greek temple, a feast of nectar and ambrosia, _and a complimentary visit to the Abbott's Dairies. Fifth grade saw no recruits but the conversion of Greeks into Benedictine brothers and the transformation of the Parthenon into a secluded monastery. Here in the mechanics of bookmaking we created synthetic marble-paper, parchment, and even our own ink. It was not uncommon to see the "he-men" of today dressed in coarse, black robes painting the most delicate of illuminated letters. Ginger Carl, the travel fiend, was drafted into active service just in time to study the ins and outs of modern, Sixth grade transportation and to make an initial visit to the Franklin Institute's train room and planetarium. This same year we waved farewell to the days of no homework, of Christmas plays, and pageants, and forward marched to the Upper School. In Seventh grade Fielding Howe, Bill "Einstein" Fussell, Bunny Robinson, Arkie "toolchest" Dannenberg, Dot Kitto, and Marge Ortlip fell into line and were regimented to the stiff routine along with the rest of us. The next year volunteers Lamb, Kirkpatrick, Palmer, and "the other" Ortlip offered their services to our gradually increasing army, and with no apparent military objectives in mind we stumbled through the Eighth grade and tramped into Ninth not much the worse for wear. As Freshmen we enlarged our surgical corps with the help of Jep "chop 'em" Carrell, Tony "slice 'em" Porter, Ed "slit 'em" Preston, Jeanne Leopold, Peggy Schaff, Vernon Gotwals, Louis Pugliese, Frances "Beetle" Bidlingmeyer, Eddie Datz, Helen Garretson, and Jeanne Peters. We enlarged, too, our knowledge of bugs, big and small; many a worm was pried open with our deftly handled scalpels, and many a grasshopper dissected. Mary's Maddock and Taylor, Stu "the slave" Smith, Stan "the martyr" Warwick, and Jayne Blanchard joined the brigade in Tenth grade, and the social obligations of our army started to function. The Sophomore Hop, one of the greatest financial successes of all history, netted us $17.51; we pulled the NEWS back on its feet again; and all got hay fever as we made our traditional daisy chains in five hours flat.
In the Junior class our motorized unit was more than doubled by the levying of ambulance drivers: Dick Bates, Don Conover, Phil "cowboy" Davison, George Major, Margaretta "rosebud" Budd, Corinne Warren, Nancy Kern, Bleecker "home-guard" Green, Jack McCausland, Franny Pyle, and Mary Ann Ramsey. We triumphed twice- making a profit on both our Junior Prom and Leap Year Dance. Our interests became more and more diversified, and our members could be found in almost every outside activity from ping-pong to the BLUE AND GRAY. An immense detachment of seniors including Beverly B. Bonfig and Barbara "B." Bentley; the "Holmanites," Barbara and Ruthie Heermann, Jinny Shaw, Alma Johnston, Polly Berger, Anne Speirs, and Mary Lou Crusey; as well as Jeanne Baker, Edythe "Judy" Fisher, Rachel Pettus, Joe Appleton, Will Hatton, Dick Lose, Tim Grant, Rex Graham, Alex "sleepy" Mackrell, John Membrino, Bill Nester, Dave Myles, Jake Pearsall, Ernie Yarnall, Harold Reed, and Paul Hart signed up for our final army adventures. We presented "You Can't Take It With You," as our dramatic offering; and we held our Prom at the Barclay. Now that our Friends' Central campaign is over, with Generals Okie and Dutcher in command, we will file off in numberless different directions. "And now we've been seniors and clever as clever, How we'd like to be Seniors forever and ever!" (with apologies to A. A. Milne)
VALEDICTORY We, the Class of 1941, have now finished our secondary schooling. What lies in store for us in the critical times ahead? The whole world is in turmoil, challenged by a ruthless dictator and his subservient allies of the Axis. Many countries have been crushed under his iron heel, their people made little better than slaves. Only England and her Dominions, China, Greece, Jugoslavia, and our own United States, have so far dared openly to challenge the Axis. Our great country is committed to use its tremendous resources to help keep the flame of democracy burning, and bring hope and courage to all the liberty-loving peoples of the world. Our normal way of life must for a time be sacrificed in this- great cause, and we younger people must do our part as it is ordered for us. It is our fervent prayer that right will soon prevail, and that a just peace will come to the world, so that all may live their lives as free men and women. And how will we of the Class of 1941, if permitted by circumstances to do so, plan our lives? Some of us will go on to college for further preparation in our chosen fields. For others, school days will be over, and they will seek their place in life.
,
The fun we had in these past years, the work accomplished, the tolerance and understanding of most of the Faculty, our association with one another, the friendships made, the loyalty to our school teams and the school itself~what should all this mean to us? What lesson of life have we learned here at Friends' Central? What has been taught us in addition to academic subjects? I believe our years here have taught us the habit of orderly thought, the ability to live with one another; to see the other viewpoint while still retaining our own. We have experienced the joy of achievement. We have learned to accept temporary defeat as a stepping-stone toward ultimate success. We have learned to have humility of spirit, but determination to succeed in those things that we have set out to accomplish; to recognize that criticism without constructive thought is destructive and accomplishes no gooci; to be helpful to our fellow men and women, and to respect their rights to live their lives in accordance with their own plans, just so long as they do not adversely affect the greater rights of society.
If we leave here with the firm resolve that we will use this knowledge and understanding we have acquired to help us in our daily work and contacts, to try to make the world a better place to live in, we will collectively be able to do much toward accomplishing this. Friends' Central School has taught us all these principles and more. It has given us the preliminary training necessary to prepare us for the responsibility of leadership. It is our job, as I see it, to seek out knowledge, in order that we may be worthy and able to achieve leadership, and to work to help solve the many problems of our generation. Let us keep faith with one another, so that we may make ourselves a force for good in the days of our maturity ahead. Dr. Jones and members of the Faculty, we thank you for what you have done for us here at Friends' Central. May we prove worthy of your teachings.

STUDENT COUNCIL This year was one of growth for the Student Council during which the students began to stretch their political muscles and strike out upon uncharted routes. Among the more important new activities are: running of Friday morning assemblies and a voice in the choice of Tuesday assembly programs. A new system of election of members was worked out by the council to eliminate the loss of time that takes place when the council is organizing at the beginning of each school year. Through the efforts of the Student Council single bus tickets are now on sale at Martha's desk, a lost and found representative awaits your pleasure at Miss Stewart's desk, a scrap-basket-cleanup drive was enacted, Coco-Cola was sold at home games, and an opportunity for winter swimming was provided. Within the Council itself have occurred many changes a:nd improvements. Where there once were two presidents, one boy and one girl with the boy' presiding, next year there will be a president and vice-president-either boy or girl presiding. This is one of many aids to increased efficiency worked out by the Council. The Student Council feels, and the faculty shares its belief, that the Council has made some progress in achieving the goals of an ideal student governing society.

SERVICE CLUB For years the Service Club, headed by Mr. Crouch, has been of constant aid to outside organizations. The Service Club is an active organization in the school represented by two members from each boys' and girls' class from the seventh grade up to and including the twelfth grade. Each year the Service Club contributes to the United Charities Campaign, the Main Line Federation of Churches, the Friends' Neighborhood Guild, and the Schofield Normal and Industrial School, a school for negroes at Aiken, South Carolina. No small part of their efforts is given to special calls from the National Red Cross, the American Friends' Service Committee, and the baskets annually supplied to needy families at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is a voluntary contribution which exists throughout most classes of the school. Each student voluntarily gives a penny or more a week during the school year. We are happy to say that our school collected in almost two weeks over $130 for the United Charities Campaign.

THE GLEE CLUB The Glee Club offers the best opportunity for singing together that the girls have found. It meets once a week and is conducted by Mrs. Schmidt who is accompanied by Jane Harris. There are about 30 members representing almost every class in the upper school. At Christmas they sang several beautiful selections in the Lower School play, and they gave a spring program of classical music and folk songs.
BLUE AND ·GRAY In 1892, the BLUE AND GRAY was founded to serve as an outlet for the literary talent of the school. At first it comprised both fact and fiction, having as an important feature the news of the school. However, by 1932, with the creation of the Friends' Central News, the BLUE AND GRAY became purely a publication of creative writing. It is published four times a year by a staff of students who are elected at the beginning of the second semester and who remain in office until the same time the following year. Three or four block-prints designed in the art studio add an attractive touch to the magazine. Particular care is taken in making the format, in selecting the design to be used on the cover, and in deciding the color and texture of the paper. Each year the Alumni Association awards prizes to the authors of the most outstanding contributions of prose and poetry, and also to the makers of the most interesting or original prints. This offers the student not only an opportunity to see his work in print, but also ·gives him a reward for his labors.

FRIENDS' CENTRAL NEWS The FRIENDS' CENTRAL NEWS was established as a bi-weekly paper in 1932, and was published under the auspices of the Junior class. Its aim was to present the news of the school in a straight-forward, unexaggerated manner, and this policy is still faithfully followed. Since its first edition it has had three significant renovations. One in 1934, one in the spring of 1939, and one in the winter of the current year. First the NEWS was enlarged. In '39 it was changed from a four- to a five-column paper and was designed to appeal not only to students, but also to faculty, alumni, and friends. The staff then consisted principally of members of the class of '41 who remained in office until last December when they were succeeded by the present Junior Class. With this third change a new and more efficient distribution of staff duties was adopted and the articles are being written primarily to interest the student body. Tales of the Campus, the gossip column of the NEWS, is probably the most popular feature; running a close second is Sports Highlights, and then come Clubs Notes, After Dark, scoops, and so on down a long, long line.

CRITICS' CLUB Organized in 1937 under Mrs. Scholz, the Critics' Club now boasts a total membership of thirtysix, including alumni. The club meets approximately once a month at the homes of the various members to discuss and criticize their literary efforts. All sorts of material is submitted; anything from dialect plays to Wild West stories, from satires to sonnets; occasionally even a bit of music. The most unique feature of the group is the manner in which candid criticism is handed out and accepted. Many a member has undergone ruthless tongue-lashings, but many a member, too, has enjoyed enthusiastic commendation. By the exchange of honest, straight-forward opinion, the "critics" learn to receive criticism gracefully and to profit by it.
PIPERS' CLUB At the beginning of the winter term, in a morning assembly, Mr. John Morgan of Pendle Hill entertained the school by playing several tunes on his shepherd's pipe. Dr. Jones announced that anyone who wished might make a similar pipe with Mr. Morgan's help. Eight students showed up that afternoon and started a club. Stragglers wandered into the meetings and became so enthralled that they immediately set to work. Over fifteen pipes, carefully whittled from bamboo, have been completed. Most are in the key of C, but a few are in D and G. The members of the club are Donald Kirkland, Barbara Darlington, Katherine Rich, James Dannenberg, Irma and Hoylande Jones, Deborah Furnas, Jean Farley, and Dorothy Jones.
ARBORETUM CLUB The Arboretum Club, standing for the beautification of the Friends' Central campus, was started in the winter of 1941. Its first enrollment of four members is as follows: Joe Appleton, president; Dave Myles, vice-president; Dave Farley, '43, secretary; Dr. Jones, faculty adviser. Handicapped by having so few members, the club planned to label the trees on the campus, and mark their locati.on on a map of the grounds. With publicity and a larger membership, there is the possibility of much more work being accomplished in the future.
ASTRONOMY CLUB The Astronomy Club was founded in 1940 with Mr. Armand Spitz of the Franklin Institute as its leader. Its membership of six recently increased to eleven. Mr. Spitz has graciously donated a telescope to the school which will be put into use as soon as an observatory can be built. This year the members have made sundials and have taken numerous trips to the Fels Planetarium and to the Haverford Observatory. By looking at Mr. Spitz's Pin Point Planetarium published in his latest book, by drawing maps of the sky on the blackboard, and by looking at the sky itself, the members of the club have learned much about the stars.
AMERICAN FRIENDS' SERVICE COMMITTEE UNIT With the turn of the seasons and the coming of the Winter Program, we of Friends' Central observed the establishment of a most worthwhile organization, the American Friends' Service Committee Unit. From its first meeting to the present time, the Unit has been active in carrying out constructive duties. With willing cooperation, the Knitting Committee has advanced with effectiveness, and with the same earnestness of spirit the other committees, too, have performed services worthy of the Unit's name. The members are as follows: Alban Eavenson, Bill Fussell, Catherine Miller, Nancy Fitts, Adelaide Taylor, Edwin Nicholson, Jane Cope, Ralph Dill, David Linton, Susan Lamb, Dick Werner, Tony Porter, Francis Pyle, Fielding Howe, Dick Barnes. Officers: Edmond Preston, Mary Taylor. Faculty Members: Dr. Jones, Mr. Craig, Mr. Eister.

VARSITY FOOTBALL The football season of 1940 was one hard hit by injuries, ineligibilities and graduation. With only two regulars returning from last season's team, Captain Harry Coslett and Jack McCausland, Coach Crate had to build an entire new eleven. Practice started early in September and the spirit of the team was running high. The first game showed an impressive 13 to 0 win over Severn School. The next game with Chestnut Hill displayed the amazing brillance of George Major, star halfback. George scored three touchdowns and was a bulwark on defense. Malvern Prep provided the next opposition and the boys from Overbrook managed to eke out a 6 to 0 victory on a pass from Captain Harry Coslett to George Major. The team then went over to Penn Charter and gained their fourth straight win 12 to 0. George Major and Harry Coslett were the sparkplugs in the attack and were . the scorers. The climax game with Episcopal was next and in this battle Friends' Central fell to pieces. The Churchmen scored in the first quarter on a line plunge by their All-Interac star, Captain Phil Lillie, and later they scored on a pass. The final score was 13 to 0 but Friends' Central put up a great fight all the way through. With three varsity men on the sidelines, Major, Hart, and Stu Smith, F. C. was completely routed by the Suburban Champions, Abington High, 38-6. Ernie Yarnall provided Friends' Central's only score on a beautiful pass interception. The Quakers came back home and played their best game of the season in losing to Germantown Academy 7-6. The powerful fullback Paul Hart was the big gun in this contest. The final game with Haverford School was played in a sea of mud, and the "Preppers" surprised F. C. in producing an air attack with a 14-0 result. The entire season, however, was one full of spirit.

BOYS' SOCCER Nineteen-forty was a banner year for Friends' Central soccermen. Although the boys didn't come away with the championship, they put up a grand battle in every game and were never beaten by more than two points. This year's team played the longest, toughest schedule of any Friends' Central soccer team. They competed in a total of fourteen games, winning seven, losing six, and tying one. This, although not a very impressive record, was the best of any team in the history of soccer at Friends' Central. The most impressive victories came at the end of the season when the F. C. boaters toppled Penn Charter and Swarthmore College Freshmen in two hotly contested battles; the scores being 2-l and l-0 respectively. But all the games weren't that close. For example, Germantown Academy fell victim to a 6-0 score, and the highly vaunted Faculty Team was mortified by a 6-l count. The team outscored its opponents to the tune of 30-16. All credit for success goes to the genial coach, Mr. Nicholson.
GIRLS' HOCKEY When hockey practice began last fall, the prospects for having a good season seemed rather far away. There were only six veteran varsity players, Captain Sue Lamb, Mary Maddock, Molly Keay, Mary Sax, Charlotte Pugh, and Priscilla Patch. We were greatly helped by several new girls who proved themselves capable of filling the positions which were vacant. After a few hard weeks of practice we met Stevens which resulted in a tie. We had many exciting games; three of which none of the players will forget. They were Springside, Irwin, and Baldwin. The most exciting game was with Irwin. Irwin was undefeated, but the day we played them we really had them guessing. They nosed us out in the final minutes 4-3. The games were all very close and hard fought. Out of the eight scheduled games we won three, lost three, and tied two. The players showed grand cooperation and sportsmanship which helped bring the team through so successfully.

BOWLING The bowling team of Friends' Central was represented in two leagues consisting of many public and private schools. In the Ardmore League, Friends' Central placed second, and in the Lansdowne League they placed fourth under strong competition. The boys were willing and enthusiastic. The bowling team was made up of six members: Frank Dutcher (Captain), Rex Graham, Bill Nester, Robert Dumars, James Faust, and Richard Bates. The highest score for the team was obtained by Rex Graham, who averaged 156 per game. Bill Nester held the high score for single games, with a record of 249.
GIRLS' ARCHERY Born in 1938, the archery team gasped its first breath under the leadership of Ann Edwards. Enthusiastic supporters were Kitty Brinton, Peg Cannell, Bunny Robinson, Kay Ortlip, Mary Shryock, Martha Brown, and Helen Garretson. In 1939, Muriel Reich and up and coming eighth graders joined the group. 1940 saw Kitty Brinton third highest scorer of the 200 contestants in one of the five yearly meets.

BOYS' BASKETBALL After a slow start, but gaining momentum as they went along, the charges of Doug Crate put on a roaring finish to end the season, with six wins and eight defeats. Four of these victories came in the last five games. In the beginning of the season, the Centralites had been set back by injuries and illness. The most cherished victories for the Blue and Gray probably were the defeat of Episcopal Academy, their deadliest rival; Germantown Academy, whom they upset to gain a tie for second place in the League standing; and the last game of the season with York, which they won by one point in the closing seconds, overcoming a fifteen point deficit. The team was led by Captain George Griffith, who was chosen for the 1941 All-Interacademic basketball team and finished second in League scoring. Honorable mention went to Will Hatton and George Major. Much credit goes to the other members of the varsity for their fine all-around playing: Alex Mackrell, Harold Reed, Louis Pugliese, Stan Warwick, and Ralph Dill.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL When the 1941 Varsity basketball season opened, about forty girls, old and new, answered the call. After two weeks of hard practice, the squad was reduced to one-half its original size. Mary Maddock, the captain, played a superior game in her regular post as guard. Sue Lamb, who has made the varsity for the past two years, was the high-scoring forward. Eddie Datz and a newcomer, Polly Berger, saw a lot of action from their posts as guards. The season was an inspiring one. With the players' average height of 5'3" as the team's greatest handicap, it had three crowning victories and but three defeats. The most startling conquest of the year was over Springside School which had not lost a game in three years. Teamwork, experience, and lots of fun may be considered the achievements of an exciting season.

THE WRESTLING TEAM Under the direction of Mr. Askew, the wrestling team experienced a very successful season. Competing against Inter-academic teams, the team, comprised of Bill Rowland, Alban Eavenson, Dick Barnes, Jack McCausland, Paul Hart, Bill Palmer, Dave Myles, John Libras, showed strong opposition.
LACROSSE Prospects for the Varsity Lacrosse season of 1941 were good. There were ten returning lettermen: Captain Eddie Datz, Susan Lamb, Mary Maddock, Daffy Haig, Molly Keay, Mary McMullin, Charlotte Pugh, Jill Staman, Anne Loveman, and Nancy Fitts. The schedule was a hard one, starting as usual, one week after spring vacation, and was as follows: April 14-Baldwin School, Practice game April IS-Swarthmore High School April 18-Springside School April 21-Baldwin School, Practice game April 24-Westtown Friends' School May 2-Irwin School May 6- Swarthmore High School

VARSITY BASEBALL The current baseball season was looked forward to with great anxiety, since not for many years had the material been so promising. Though the games in the league were exacting, the boys kept fighting right up to the final skirmish. The pitching staff was very reliable with Ernie Yarnall leading the moundsmen, ably assisted by Bill Palmer. The catching department was amply filled by Paul Hart, and the infield and outfield were strong both defensively and offensively. The schedule was not easy, because the team played a double round in the league, as well as many extra-league games, but n~:me the less, the season was an outstanding one.
GIRLS, BASEBALL With Bunny Robinson and Mary McMullin crowding the mound, and other veteran players Mary Maddock, Sue Lamb, Charlotte Pugh, Dot Coleman, Anne Loveman, Priscilla Patch, and Manager Mary Sax, the baseball team battled through the Spring season with yearly contenders Baldwin, Springside, and Miss Irwin's.

TRACK Although few boys participate in track at Friends' Central, last year's team took third place in the Inter-academic League, the best record in the history of the school. Back this year were George Major, pole-vaulter, Louis Pugliese, high-jumper, and Stan Warwick, sprinter; as well as Bleecker Green, Bill Carson, Herb Spatola, and Jack McCausland. As for newcomers this year, Dick Lose, half-miler, was the standout, having placed in several indoor meets during the winter, as well as giving an excellent performance in the spring. "Lanky" Will Hatton and Bill Nester showed skill in the hurdles; and the team got some points from Dave Myles, sprinter, Alex Mackrell, half-miler,. and weightman Paul Hart.
VARSITY TENNIS Friends' Central was again represented in interscholastic tennis competition, under the captaincy of George Griffith, number one man on the team for three years. Fielding Howe, Don Conover and Tony Porter continued from last year, welcoming Harold Reed, John Membrino, and Edmond, Preston as new members. Coach Craig put a lot of spark into the team's playing, as was shown by its record. With only two stand-bys from last year, Bunny Robinson and Elizabeth Rockey, the girls' tennis team headed through a good season. New backbone members were Holmanites Ruth Heermann and Jinny Shaw; coach was Miss Blackburn.

ART Art has been to many Seniors like a light dessert after a heavy dinner, and to some few it has been the most important course in ±heir experience at Friends' Central. Mr. Pittman has been an entertaining and exacting host in the studio, with the result that there have been far more than a few chefs-d'oeuvre. In the accompanying sketches, example is given of some of our activities; and these miniatures, as well as the entire book, bear witness of the quality of the work accomplished. Quite understandingly, water color painting is the backbone of the department. Most people enjoy it and can produce pleasing results thereby.
The subjects painted range from fellow schoolmates to
Scarlett O'Hara, from everyday campus scenes to society balls and Indian ceremonies; and no combination or conglomeration of colors is avoided. Almost equally popular, wood carving interests many more. It is fun to chip out the warm, fragrant wood; and the smooth plaque resulting from sanding and waxing is usually an object of joy and pride to its maker. A few people even use stone, though this phase of expression is still rather undeveloped. Clay is a fourth and important medium. Art in three dimensions makes possible such figures of men and animals as cannot be done on paper or a flat slab of wood. Moreover, many of the clay models are made permanent by baking, producing ceramic figures and vessels with a high glaze. Finally block prints, cut from linoleum and transferred to paper by ink, claim much interest. Although at first glance linoleum seems an awkard medium, it is possible to effect some very delicate detail. It is these prints that are used in the Blue
and Gray, our school magazine, both for cover design and inside illustration. In conclusion, we want to express the hope that the studio and to help students in art appreciation and execution, and we offer our best wishes for future success to the class artists.

"BERKELEY SQUARE" For their 1941 play, the newly organized Centenary Players chose John Balderston's intriguing "BERKELEY SQUARE" which starred Leslie Howard on Broadway. Bill Rowland and Toddy Ockford took the leads. Bill Rowland played Peter Standish, a young American architect who lives in a two century old house in London. Traveling backward in time he enters his own house more than a hundred years before, in the guise of a cousin from America. He falls in love with Helen, in defiance of history, but finally returns to his own time, still in love with a girl of a century before. The play was produced under the direction of Mr. Cadigan; scenes and properties were by David Linton, Harry Vaughan and Alice Hunt. The acting was excellent and well received in spite of inclement weather.

SENIOR PLAY "YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU," the riotous Broadway comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, was chosen as the Senior Play. Directed by Mrs. Woerner, the cast's portrayal of the Sycamore family, who did exactly as they pleased and loved it, was uproariously received. Two successive performances were given, one for the school and one for the alumni. The property committee, headed by Mr. Crouch, worked diligently to procure the various knicknacks that the set required. Mrs. Scholz had charge of the costumes. All and all, the consensus of opinion was that the play went over with a BANG!
